Testimonials

April took my engagement photos and she was great to work with. She communicated before our session and was easy to contact. During our session she had many poses for us to try, was open to us trying our own and made us feel comfortable while she was taking photos (not all photographers are good at this). She sent us some sneak peaks right away and we received the rest of our photos shortly after. I will be going with her again in the future! Thank you April!

Testimonials

I originally booked April to shoot my then girlfriend and l's proposal. She was super responsive and kind. She helped me formulate and plan and it went into action. I surprised my wife at a winery, where April had scoped out weeks prior and helped coordinate logistics. Throughout the process, she was extremely kind, responsive, and understanding. Her bubbly yet gentle personality is perfect. She rolls with the punches and works so hard to get the perfect shot.
